Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The rich tradition of Kennedy and Gioia's collective poetic voice brings personal warmth and a human perspective to the discussion of literature. "Writer's "Perspectives" sections give commentary on the craft of writing and revising from authors, which provide insight and a more human perspective on literature and the writing process. "Writing Critically" sections, at the end of each major chapter, expand coverage of composition with accessible and pragmatic suggestions on writing. "Critical Approaches" to Literature section provides two essays on every major school of criticism with sections on gender criticism and cultural studies. New stories, poems, drama and fiction casebooks and a glossary of literary terms have been added to the new edition. For those interested in the study and composition of literature.

- Surprsingly Wonderful!
I picked this book up for a class, expecting to be perfectly bored. Instead, this book woke up my sleeping love of learning and literature. The book is easy to understand and contains MANY great stories and poems in it. It also has a great glossary and index was well. It came with an additional feature, MyLiteratureLab, which is an accompanying web page. That is also very helpful indeed.
This book is so good, there were even people at work wanting to check it out!

Primarily because Roth writes novels, his short stories are few. he should be in the anthologies because he is one of America's foremost writers and most American particularly New Jerseyans don't know who he is. In 2005, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Anyway, I picked this book up at a yard sale. This book is filled with tremendous assortment of authors, writers, and poets like Somerset Maugham, John Updike, James Thurber, William Faulkner, Katherine Mansfield, Toni Cade Bambara, Edgar Allen Poe, ...
